Has anyone else reconnected Johnny Zest with his family?

Yup, had him move back in with his family. They all get along. But he did bring his hippie girlfriend, Summer Holiday, who Nancy has declared an enemy. Nancy is currently trying to figure out how to break them up.

Not exactly.... had johnny hook up with j Huntington just for fun cause J wouldn't stop flirting with him. Johnny was doing well in his career and J was transitioning to a female (what he knew he was born to be). Johnny visited his family and chatted with his mom, beguiled her and got her to sleep with him. Then he and J moved in, he got his mother pregnant, then Malcom and Geoffrey died of starvation after johnny locked them in a room. His mother gave birth to his son, whom they named Cesar, then Nancy died of starvation and shortly after Cesar was taken away from neglect. Johnny is doing well now and owns a restaurant which he runs on the weekend when he's not doing comedy gigs

check sims wiki for story of Johnny Zest / Dudley Landgraab

I added him to their family (like actually made him their son), but I'm not sure if they all got along because I didn't play them. He and his brother, Malcolm, did live together after their parents died.

When I didn't know that the trait wasn't needed*, I bought Johnny the "always welcome trait" and had him mooch in the Landgraab mansion. In this save I decided he was a distant cousin of Malcolm's on Geoffry's side of the family tree, disowned for failing school and becoming a comedian, just like the game suggests. Later he grew out of this behaviour, had a very succesful comedian career and also went into politics for some time (using the club system). When he found a wife, Johnny took her last name to signal his independance from the Landgraab.

*Note: Nowadays the trait would be needed for this, but that was back when there was only the basegame

In my main save Johnny was Malcolm's older brother who left the family because he didn't want to be involved in their crimes. He married Amber Stein, but both of them died when they helped a victim of the Landgraab during a kidnapping. The Landgraab got custody of Johnny's daughter and try to raise her in their own image.

Although I defined these relationships in my head canon, I never actually edited them in.

I thought I was the only person who moved him back in I wanted to see how the family dynamic would play out, even though I wouldn't play them.

I didn't think he was Malcom's brother, more like either a cousin or uncle. So I've never seen much point in re-connecting them.

I did. His family loved him! His annoying, hippie girlfriend Summer Holiday... not so much.

Nancy fought with Summer while Johnny did nothing. She even got a zap thing, and made Summer clean her house. After a while, Summer finally told Johnny that she just wants to be friends and moved out of there. Nancy's very happy.

I reconnected the family. Johnny is friendly with his family, but he isn't living with them. He is married and has a baby on the way. I changed his name to Johnny Landgraab.

Yep, I've done this a few times but not played with them properly. I played not long ago but it got boring so I deleted the save.
